Tomorrow will be a better day..

I'm 23. Today was a day of frustration, disappointment, anger, depression, etc… It seems like the stars were against me. Sometimes some people get hurt for no fault of theirs. That was the situation for me today. Nobody to blame though!

Having decided to forget what happened during the day and rest for a while, I lay on the living room couch and started to worry about my future, I found myself looking at some old family photos. There was a picture of my grandfather in his Air Force uniform. He joined the Indian Air force as an officer and involved protecting India for nearly 40 years; he retired as a Squadron Leader. Next to his picture were photos of my parents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe tomorrow will be better than today -- that the world and my generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand why.

I considered some of the awful things my grandparents had seen in their lifetimes: the British rule, two world wars, killer flu, segregation, a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too, better things: the end of two world wars, Indian independence, the polio vaccine, passage of the civil rights laws.

I believe that my generation will see better things, too -- that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated; the great heights of innovation and technology; a peaceful world. I will see things as inconceivable to me today as a moon shot was to my grandfather when he was 23 or the Internet to my father when he was 23.

Ever since I was a little kid, whenever I've had a lousy day, my dad would put his arm around me and promise me that "tomorrow will be a better day." I challenged my father once, "How do you know that?" He said, "I just do." I believed him. My grandparents believed that, and my parents, and so do I.

Now, when my Dad is so worried about what the future holds for me and my generation, I wanted to put my arm around him, and tell him what he always told me: "Don't worry Dad; tomorrow will be a better day."
